Peter D’Ascoli has worked in both ceramics and medicine for over 40 years across the US. He is drawn to pottery because of the pleasure of touch. His ceramics includes thrown, hand built, functional and sculptural pieces. Peter’s work is meant to be approachable and available as well as carrying a message even if that message might be enigmatic at times. Dr D’Ascoli’s current ceramic interest includes not only the ongoing coordination of utility and aesthetics but a growing interest in materials.
You can see some select pieces of Peter’s work at the Minneapolis-St Paul Airport (MSP) with a special display of work from NEMAA artists, specifically the PASSAGES exhibition. The NEMAA website has a virtual vitrine for viewing during CoVID and for those not traveling by plane through the MSP Airport.
Peter D’Ascoli is open on Friday, Saturday & Sunday of Art-A-Whirl weekend.
Art-A-Whirl is on line this year. At the Gallery: Masks are required and a limit of four in the Gallery at a time.
